It’s interesting what’s possible, and perhaps it shows off how low-thought a lot of human discussion is.

But in the end it’s noise and it pollutes human communication channels. It’s already hard enough to have an honest discussion when there are profit motives and agendas at play. Now we have effectively added probabilistic noise to the mix.
